Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 242 Establishing a Branch Office
Meng Lang really wanted to open a branch office in Haicheng.

Haicheng is an international metropolis with a very high degree of internationalization, even compared to Kyoto. If the law firm wants to go out of the country and go to the world in the future, it must have a foothold in Haicheng.

If it only develops in a second-tier city like Hanzhou, the development of the law firm will be restricted.

Tang Furong agreed with him, and felt that the law firm wanted to go out, but to open a law firm in Haicheng, it was not only a question of money, the key was people, and it was necessary to recruit local lawyers from Haicheng.

However, Guangming Firm is not well-known, and Haicheng's lawyers may not be willing to cooperate with them.

But this didn't bother Meng Lang. You must know that Zhuo Youchu used to be a lawyer in Haicheng. Through her, she could get to know some lawyers and ask them if they were interested.

Before deciding to open a branch in Haicheng, Meng Lang convened a meeting with his partners to study the matter.

Lawyer Chai Lang was not very interested after hearing this, because he thought it would be good to work in Hanzhou. Opening a branch office will not bring much profit to the law firm, but will increase the expenses of the head office. In the end, it may not be able to To stay in Haicheng, it is better to manage Hanzhou's legal market well and expand Hanzhou's business.

Chai Lang has his own ideas. He has been doing business in Hanzhou and has little contact with Haicheng. With his existing case sources, he can live a good life. Why go to Haicheng to open a case? branch?

But Meng Lang's thinking is different from his. What he thinks is to make the law firm bigger, not to make a lot of money, and he also has the ambition to go to the world, and strive for Guangming to have a place in foreign-related business, but to To achieve this goal, it is necessary to set up a branch office in Haicheng, and there are still too few foreign-related businesses in Hanzhou.

Those parties involved in foreign-related business, when they have something to do, their first thought is to go to Haicheng or Shangjing to hire a lawyer, instead of going to Hanzhou to find a lawyer to represent them. This is why the income of lawyers in Shanghai and Haicheng is so high. The average income of Hanzhou lawyers is less than half of theirs.

Seeing that Chai Lang was not very supportive, Meng Lang said to him: "It is my personal idea to set up a branch office in Haicheng. It is just to set up a branch office in the name of our firm and I will personally invest. Of course, Lawyer Chai said It also makes sense, our focus of work is still in Hanzhou, but we have to find a way to set up a branch in Haicheng first, wait until our business in Hanzhou is developed, and then go out, it is tantamount to playing a first move, Chai Lawyer, don't you think so?"

When Meng Lang said this, it was hard for Chai Lang to say anything more. Since Meng Lang invested personally and didn't need to spend a penny from the head office, why did he object?
As long as Chai Lang has no objections, the matter can be settled. There are only four partners in the firm now, and Tang Furong and Qiu Xuanxiang must have no objections.

After the research, Meng Lang started to implement the plan. Qiu Xuanxiang was very happy when he heard that he was going to set up a branch office in Haicheng, and asked him what he thought, would he send someone there?

After Meng Lang heard this, he couldn't make up his mind for a while. Should he use a local lawyer to take charge of the newly established branch office, or send someone from the head office to take charge of it?

If a local lawyer in Haicheng is responsible, he will not be able to control many things. It is equivalent to making a wedding dress for others. If it is sent from the head office, the key is who to send?After going there, can you open up the work situation?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qiu Xuanxiang smiled and said: "Why don't you let me go, I want to work in Haicheng."

"Are you going? Why do you want to go to Haicheng?" Meng Lang looked at him suspiciously and asked.

Qiu Xuanxiang smiled and said: "Haicheng is a big city, who doesn't want to live in a big city, you send me there, and I will help you develop the branch there."

Meng Lang shook his head and said, "You can't do it. You haven't done a good job in Hanzhou. How can you do a good job in Haicheng? You must know that Haicheng's business is more difficult than Hanzhou. You don't have this capabilities."

Qiu Xuanxiang was unhappy when he heard this, and said: "Old wolf, you are looking down on me. Why don't I have the ability in this area? As long as you let me go, I will have the ability."

Seeing that Qiu Xuanxiang was still quite stubborn, Meng Lang said, "Then I'll think about it again. Let's talk about it after I set up a branch office."

Qiu Xuanxiang said: "Then you have to take me to Haicheng, and I will fight for you first."

"That's fine, as long as you want to go, I can take you there." Meng Lang agreed.

Meng Lang planned for several days and decided to take Tang Furong and Qiu Xuanxiang to Haicheng to set up a branch. Liu Hu actually wanted to go, but he asked Qiu Xuanxiang to get there first. Meng Lang could not bring so many people there.

Niu Zhao wanted to go when he knew about it, but Meng Lang didn't let her go, and told Niu Zhao to stay at home. When he was away, she would be in charge of handling anything.

Seeing that he had no other choice, Niu Zhao agreed and watched Meng Lang take Tang Furong and Qiu Xuanxiang to Haicheng.

She was quite worried about what would happen between Meng Lang and Zhuo Youchu after he went to Haicheng, but there was nothing she could do.

After going to Haicheng, Meng Lang contacted Zhuo Youchu. At this time, Zhuo Youchu happened to be in Haicheng. When he heard that he was coming, he and Gu Zi met him.

After meeting, Meng Lang told her about it, and Zhuo Youchu smiled and said, "Can I come out and participate in the establishment of your branch office?"

As soon as Zhuo Youchu said this, he reminded Meng Lang that he and Zhuo Youchu had mentioned this matter before, but Gu Zi smiled and said, "How can you have time to do these things now? You should still help Meng Lang, please introduce other lawyers and let them participate in this matter."

Zhuo Youchu now has a certain reputation in the entertainment industry, and the few online dramas she has filmed have received a good response. Therefore, if she goes back to work as a lawyer now, it will definitely not work.

After hearing this, Zhuo Youchu said regretfully, "Actually, I still want to continue working as a lawyer."

"You can say this after you quit the entertainment industry." Gu Zi laughed.

Zhuo Youchu didn't have time to be a lawyer anymore, so Meng Lang asked her to introduce other lawyers.

Zhuo Youchu introduced him to a former deputy chief lawyer of their firm.The deputy chief lawyer is in his 30s, and he is an excellent foreign-related lawyer. He has been a lawyer for ten years, and he is well-known in Haicheng.

When meng lang got in touch with him, he felt that he was a pretty good person, but he didn't know if he had any intentions in this regard.

After chatting with him, the deputy chief lawyer was a little undecided. He had the idea of ​​coming out and doing it himself, but he didn't believe in Meng Lang's strength. If the office conditions provided by Guangming were not as good as the original law firm, he would do it. Why do you want to come out?After all, Haicheng where Guangming is located is not well-known, and everything has to start from scratch when it comes to Guangming.
